Oh no, I remember well. At some point, everyone at the software home button on their phone setup, because the physical button was sometimes working and sometimes not.

Apple issued a statement saying it was a hardware failure and there was nothing they could do.

A hacker later on proved they were lying by patching the software and showing the problem went away.

That's why I'm scrapbooking every article about the trump administration right now. This time period is so wild people will doubt it really existed.

I will not be gaslighted again. This world is crazy, and people have a terrible memory.

On one hand, I think there will be entire subgenres of literature and media dedicated to this time, the way we spend entire units in the US on WWII.

On the other hand, I also know there will be a lot of "not-MAGA" people who will say they didn't vote for Trump (they did) but defend to death how these times weren't that bad with all the same soundbites you hear today. We're way too connected (and Trump way too loud) to reasonably do Trump denialism, so the next best path will be Trump sympathizing
